Tyson Fury has secured victory over Otto Wallin after surviving a scare in Las Vegas. The Gypsy King suffered a nasty cut in the third round after he was caught with a vicious right from the unfancied Wallin. The wound troubled Fury throughout the first-half of the contest with the fight doctor at one point taking a look before giving the Briton the green light to continue. Fury punished Wallin for the second-half of the fight but the Swede rocked Fury with another superb shot in the final round that opened that cut up once again. But Fury survived to secure an unanimous decision win. This was Fury's second fight since last December's hugely controversial draw with WBC champion Deontay Wilder, having eased past Tom Schwarz in June.

Hands on hips, Peter Siddle slowly made his way to backward square leg. Ben Stokes had just smashed him, disdainfully, for a couple of boundaries in a set worth 13. His captain and wicketkeeper, Tim Paine, had brought himself up to the stumps for the final delivery. Oh, the indignity. Out of the 63 overs Australia sent down in the second innings, the veteran had only been called on for eight of them – just four coming in the first 56. In his line of sight, Mitch Marsh was warming up. Was that it? Had he bowled his last ball for Australia? For real this time? It must have crossed his mind. How could it not? Straight after tea, the skipper backed him in. Despite having battled to deliver the dry overs front-and-centre of his job description to that point in the Test, before that break he found Joe Denly’s outside edge. It didn’t carry, but it was enough for Paine to keep him on. But then Stokes sized him up and it looked like one of those sad moments … [Read more...] about Why it remains foolish to completely write off Peter Siddle

On a sumptuous late summer Saturday in south London, England continued their push for victory in the final Ashes Test at the Oval. That it had been a satisfactory day for the hosts was clear from the sight and sound, as 6.30pm approached, of the whole OCS Stand singing “stand up if you love Jack Leach”, and England 382 runs in front, and with their iconic new limpet adding a few more valuable runs. They will never feel totally safe if Steve Smith’s final innings of the series has not been taken, but England had enjoyed another fine day. The urn maybe gone, but a shared series is not and both teams are still fighting hard. There was a bit of aggro, between David Warner and Ben Stokes, and Matthew Wade and Joe Root. A bit has been made of the relative friendliness between these sides, but the Ashes will never be truly peaceful, especially while certain characters remain. Untimely wickets, there were eight of them in all, never quite allowed England to … [Read more...] about Joe Denly helps England take control in final Ashes Test
